REPUBLICANS in New York-and
for that matter, all over the country
just before the late election alleged
that money was to carry the Empire
State for the Democracy. Since the
election the cry of fraud is kept up
as an explanation of the defeat of the
Republican party. The New York
Times, a Republican paper, is author.
ity for the statement that there was
sent out of New York city to corrupt,
for the Republicans, fifteen senatorial
districts in the State, 1858, 500. Com
menting on this the Rochester
Union says the Assignment" for the
district in which Rochester City is
situated was $4,000, and that the sack
arrived there on the Sunday proceed
ing the election. That journal goes on
thus:

warded in nice buff envelopes with
the amount inside printed in large
figures on the outside. We have the
originals of four different kinds-$25,

of the face:

COMMENT as to an impending none

COMMENT as to an impending money
stringe ncy in this section was heard
frequently some time ago. 1t is a
notable fact that there is not his
per of such calamity at the present
moment. All who have financial OBJ
legations maturing are meeting them
promptly. The payment of the taxes
is Usually one of the best points at
which to feel the pulse of commun-
ity with reference to its solvency.
The levy for municipal purposes this
year in Los Angeles city amounted to
somewhat more than 1861 900. Of
this sum more than 1885 900 was paid
in before the Collector closed
his books. Of the balance a
large part will disappear in the
readjusting OF the accounts, the making
of rebates and corrections. Then the
unknown-owner list is an unusually
long one this year, and to this fact is
to be attributed large part of the
deficit. The delinquent list is not ad-
vertised for sale for few weeks, and
many of those who neglected to pay
their taxes in due time are making
good use of this eleventh hour of
grace in which to settle with the mex
orable official who always must have
his annual pound of flesh. The
amount OF city taxes to be set up at
auction will be very small.

ment. 1t would perhaps be better to
get the new State of South California

will be ready for carving in at least
two or three new ones. By that time
our esteemed young friend of the

experience in the far West and the fric.

he may be ready to carve against the
Orange Tribune for the honor OF this
achievement. Let us hope he will sc
use his time.

THE crucial days have arrived fol
the taxpayers. The confusion and con.
sequent ill-humor exhibited every day
by the crowds Of people who throng
the County Tax-Collector's office, is
not to be described. One of the SUI
pervisors told us yesterday that, on
account of his familiarity with the
property in the county, and his past
experience as Assessor, that he found
Unnecessary for him to remain on hand
with maps before him, ohelp citizens
to unravel the enigmas Of the assess
ment roll. The errors are almost end
less, and very large amount of valu-
BILE property has not been assessed at
all. Taken in all its parts, there has
never been, in the fiscal history Of this
county, SO unsatisfactory an assess
ment Of the taxable property.

SOME discussion is being INDUCED
in as to the attitude OF certain New
York city papers in the recent local
elections in that city. The support oil
Nicoll or Fellows is the point most in
dispute. The facts are these. The
Sun and Herald both came out before
the nominations in favor of Nicoll. Iu
this the World followed suit. That
journal is bitterly opposed by the
other two; and therefore, when Eel
lows secured the Democratic nomina-
ton, and the Republicans in despair
took up Nicoll, the Sun and Herald
turned on the latter with relentless
fury, as a bolter.

RAILROAD building hereabouts is
doing fairly we'll, as things are now,
but in short time this branch of
progress will be rushing at pace
which will make all past achievement
seem slow. The Southern Pacific
Company has about completed its
new enterprises in the northern por-
tions of the State, and in a few weeks
the whole construction force now
operating there, will be moved to the
vicinity of Los Angeles. There are
about four thousand five hundred
men now engaged in finishing up the
last link in the California and Oregon
road, near the boundry line of the two
States; then there are some three
thousand more employed in putting
the finishing touch to the Placer
vile branch road. These seventy-five
thousand graders, bridgers, track-lay-
ers and carpenters will be transferred
to V;salia and Los Angeles the mo-
ment the colophon is put to the work
in hand to the northward. The belt
line which will branch off at Shorb's
run north to the upper edge of Pasa'
dena, then go eastward between the
Altadena road and the track OF the
California Central, hugging the foothills
to San Bernardino and swinging around
Redlands and Lugonia to Cotton, will
be the first undertaking. Soon after
work will probably be begun at Santa
Ana to develop that branch into a
trunk line to San Diego. There will
be roads constructed by this COM
pany Of which none of us
yet have any intimation. This
southern country is to be gridlroned
From present intimations the Lof
Angeles and Salt Lake road is to be
begun at a day in the very neal
future. With the exploits of the Cal.
ifornia Central, or Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe, now being prosecuted
with so much vigor, this will give us
three great companies engaged in the
most active construction of road yet
seen in any portion of the American
Union.

ANARCHISTS and other extremists
who do not go quite to the mad lengths
Of Herr Most and his ignorant and
unreasonable pack of bloodhounds,
utter a great deal of nonsense as to
the slavery and the otherwise hard lot
of the laboring man. There is great
deal of ill-considered stuff spread
abroad in one way or another about
the erich growing richer and the poor
poorer" The first part of the propo-
sition may be correct enough in some
cases; but the second is lame. In
this country all honest, industrious
and frugal men are growing richer.
If any man in America is contin-
ually growing poorer, then there
is something wrong with that
individual. The fault is not
in his stars, but in himself, who is an
underling among us. Certainly there
is no defect in our fundamental laws
by which one man is exalted and bis
brother man debased. The man who,
born to equal rights and privileges be-
fore the law, born to an inheritance toa
portion of the public domain, to a rig ut
to his liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness, with it's corollary comforts, yet
fails to secure his birthright, must
have traded it away for some mess OF
pottage. He must be either in some
way incapable, or he must be
an idler, or if he is able
to work, and does work,
then he is spendthrift and wastes
what he earns. The laboring man to-
day has more leisure and education,
more pleasure and happiness, better
food, better clothes and better house
over his head on the general average
than the nobility Of past, but by nc
means remote, generation could boast
The brotherhood of man is no myth
or sentiment. 1t is the most pro
found and vital element in
life. No man can live for himself
alone, however hard he might try tt
do SO. The progress and prosperity o
the individual help upward the whole
race, and the advance OF the race is al
made along closely lying and parable
lines composed of the achievements O
individuals composing the race. The
present is better than the past, and OF
the present lines of movement thu
future holds in store the fruition of ,
further development of civilization
based on law, which is immeasurabl,
better than that of the day that now is

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1887
To our Readers.

A serious accident to the HERALD
press last Monday night compelled
us to avail ourselves of other presses,
and delayed the editions of Tuesday
and Yesterday SO that we missed the
morning mails. Repairs have been
made, and we hope to get the paper
out on time hereafter. Accidents
ike this are annoying all round, and
this one was especially unexpected
in . press that was built to order by
one of the best makers of the United
States little over year ago. The
fact is, the subscription list
of the HERALD has increased
so rapidly that our present press has
to be run at a higher rate OF speed
than was anticipated, thus greatly en-
HANGING its liability to break down.
Some time ago, in order to meet the
demands of our immense circulation,
we bought Bullock perfecting press
of ,OOO-an-hour capacity. But
we found that our present
quarters were not sufficiently
large to accommodate the new ma
chinery, including the stereotype
works in connection with it. We
therefore were compelled to put up a
new building to meet our urgent
wants. That building is now in course
of erection. On account of the great
demand for labor in connection with
building Improvements in this city,
the work on the structure has not
progressed as rapidly as we had
expected. But We are doing our
utmost to expedite it. The new
HERALD building will be on Second
street, near Fort. and when we get
into it with our lightning press, we
shall be able to meet the growing ext
gencies of our business. Until that
time, which is not far distant, we
shall ask our patrons to be lenient
with any unavoidable shortcomings
that may occur in the meantime.

The drift of these remarks is that our
State Committee cannot deliver the
goods according to this agreement.
We are far from sure they cannot
make good their promise. In the alb
sence of large expenditure of money
in Nevada that State is ours on gen.
eral principles. AS to California the
odds are rather in our favor than the
other way. Then in the event OF any
Republican, barring James G.. Blaine,
being the nominee of that party the
entire coast is certain to go Demo
cratic

MUCH is said as to a promise alleged
to have been made by the Democratic
State Central Committee to the
National Committee of the party that,
should the Presidential Convention
be held in San Francisco next year,
that would secure the vote Of the en-
tire coast to the Democratic nominee.

crot and crude methods Of their own,
and the traffic carried on in
women for the basest of purposes, are
some of their vices. Nor is there any
escape from these things 80 long as
the Chinese are in the country. And
these practices are not confined to the
immigrant race, but they are spread
ing rapidly among the young of both
sexes Of native birth. These are
things which should deeply impress
the mind of the Eastern statesman.

The Congress to assemble next
month should take some action as to
the Chinese Restriction Act. All
cases in dispute as to the right O.
Mongolian to land under the present
law are taken before the Federal
Courts in San Francisco for adjudica.
ton. The Customs Department in
the Bay City, presided over by Judge
Hager, is indefatigable in it's efforts
to enforce the law. But when the
cases go before Federal tribunals,
presided over by judges of Repub-
lican bias. there is always found
. loop-hole through which the
Coolies creep in. There have
been open charges made and never
denied that there is gross nepotism
and even fraud, as well as natural Re-
publican bias, energetically at work
to defeat the intent Of the Restriction
Act. However this may be, the &C.
lestials get into the country through
the meshes of the present law. OPP
position to more stringent Act will
come from some Of the Eastern Con-
gressmen. The old notion that Amer
lea is large enough and rich enough to
furnish an asylum for all the world is
still strong as a time-honored tradition
which is hard to shake. But the sources
whence this resistance to change in
the law will arise are also possessed Of
. very positive opinion as to any
grossly immoral practices on the part
of any portion of any people, whether
immigrants or native born. A thor.
ough presentation Of the vices of the
Chinese would act as a powerful
antidote to the other notion
With these Mongols the vices
referred to are not confined te
certain individuals OF the race they
are an incident to the peculiar
heather views and Oriental
civilization of the race. These
practices are not regarded by them
q immoral or criminal. They perme-
ate the whole people and are part Of
their life on this coast. The use OF
opium, the maintenance of q sort of
Chinese tribunal, with power of life
and death, where men are charged
with offenses not according to our
laws, and where they are tried by Sc
